as any of Pledgor's obligations under the Securities Contract remain
outstanding:
(a) Pledgor shall ensure at all times that a Collateral Event of
Default shall not occur, and shall pledge additional Collateral in the manner
described in Sections 5(b) and 5(c) as necessary to cause such requirement to be
met.
(b) Pledgor shall, at the expense of Pledgor and in such manner and
form as Secured Party may reasonably require, give, execute, deliver, file and
record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other
papers that may be necessary or desirable in order to (i) create, preserve,
perfect, substantiate or validate any security interest granted pursuant hereto,
(ii) create or maintain Control with respect to any such security interests in
any investment property (as defined in Section 9-102(49) of the UCC) or (iii)
enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect
to such security interest. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor
hereby authorizes Secured Party to execute and file, in the name of Pledgor or
otherwise, UCC financing or continuation statements (which may be carbon,
photographic, photostatic or other reproductions of this Agreement or of a
financing statement relating to this Agreement) that Secured Party in its sole
discretion may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to further perfect, or
maintain the perfection of, the Security Interests.
(c) Pledgor shall warrant and defend Pledgor's title to the

discharge any Lien of any third party on any of the Collateral.

identity or organizational structure in any manner or (ii) Pledgor's Location,
unless in either case (A) Pledgor shall have given Secured Party not less than
30 days' prior notice thereof and (B) such change shall not cause any of the
Security Interests to become unperfected, cause Secured Party to cease to have
Control in respect of any of the Security Interests in any Collateral consisting
of investment property (as defined in Section 9-102(49) of the UCC) or subject
any Collateral to any other Lien.
(e) Pledgor agrees that Pledgor shall not (i) create or permit to
exist any Lien (other than the Security Interests) or any Transfer Restriction
upon or with respect to the Collateral, (ii) sell or otherwise dispose of, or
grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral or (iii) enter into or

Collateral.

time. Concurrently with the delivery of any additional Eligible Collateral,

Pledgor substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and dated the date of such
delivery, (i) identifying the additional items of Eligible Collateral being
pledged and (ii) certifying that with respect to such items of additional
Eligible Collateral the representations and warranties contained in paragraphs
(a), (b), (c) and (d) of Section 3 are true and correct with respect to such
Eligible Collateral on and as of the date thereof. Pledgor hereby covenants and
agrees to take all actions required under Section 5(c) and any other actions
necessary to create for the benefit of Secured Party a valid, first priority,
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such additional Eligible
Collateral, as to which Secured Party will have Control.
(c) Any delivery of any securities or security entitlements (each as
defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) as Collateral to Secured Party by Pledgor
shall be effected (i) in the case of Collateral consisting of certificated
securities registered in the name of Pledgor, by delivery of certificates
representing such
8
securities to the Custodian, accompanied by any required transfer tax stamps,
and in suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, with signatures appropriately
guaranteed, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, and the
crediting by the Custodian of such securities to a securities account (as
defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC) (the "COLLATERAL ACCOUNT") of Secured Party
maintained by the Custodian, (ii) in the case of Collateral consisting of
uncertificated securities registered in the name of Pledgor, by transmission by
Pledgor of an instruction to the issuer of such securities instructing such
issuer to register such securities in the name of the Custodian or its nominee,
accompanied by any required transfer tax stamps, the issuer's compliance with
such instructions and the crediting by the Custodian of such securities to the
Collateral Account, (iii) in the case of securities in respect of which security
entitlements are held by Pledgor through a securities intermediary, by the
crediting of such securities, accompanied by any required transfer tax stamps,
to a securities account of the Custodian at such securities intermediary or, at
the option of Secured Party, at another securities intermediary satisfactory to
Secured Party and the crediting by the Custodian of such securities to the
Collateral Account or (iv) in any case, by complying with such reasonable
alternative delivery instructions as Secured Party shall provide to Pledgor in
writing. Upon delivery of any such Pledged Item under this Agreement, Secured
Party shall examine (or cause the Custodian to examine) such Pledged Item and
any certificates delivered pursuant to Section 5(b) or otherwise pursuant to the
terms hereof in connection therewith to determine that they comply as to form
with the requirements for Eligible Collateral.
(d) If on any Business Day Secured Party determines that a Collateral
Event of Default shall have occurred, Secured Party shall promptly notify
Pledgor of such determination by telephone call to the General Partner of
Pledgor followed by a written confirmation of such call.
(e) If on any Business Day Secured Party determines that no
Acceleration Event or failure by Pledgor to meet any of Pledgor's obligations
under Sections 4 or 5 hereof has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may obtain
the release from the Security Interests of any Collateral upon delivery to
Secured Party of a written notice from the General Partner of Pledgor indicating
the items of Collateral to be released so long as, after such release, no
Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred.
(f) On the Maturity Date, unless (i) Pledgor shall have otherwise
effected the deliveries required by Section 2.03(b) of the Securities Contract
or shall have delivered the Cash Settlement Amount to Secured Party in lieu of
shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.04 of the Securities
9
Contract on the Maturity Date or (ii) the Common Stock then held by or on behalf
of Secured Party hereunder is not Free Stock, Secured Party shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to itself from the Collateral Account in whole or partial,
as the case may be, satisfaction of Pledgor's obligations to deliver shares of
Common Stock to Secured Party on the Maturity Date pursuant to the Securities
Contract, shares of Common Stock then held by or on behalf of it hereunder
representing the number of shares of Common Stock required to be delivered under
the Securities Contract on the Maturity Date. Upon any such delivery, Secured
Party shall hold such shares of Common Stock absolutely and free from any claim
or right whatsoever (including, without limitation, any claim or right of
Pledgor).
(g) Secured Party may at any time or from time to time, in its sole
discretion, cause any or all of the Common Stock pledged hereunder registered in
the name of Pledgor or Pledgor's nominee to be transferred of record into the
name of the Custodian, Secured Party or its nominee. Pledgor shall promptly give
to Secured Party copies of any notices or other communications received by
Pledgor with respect to Common Stock pledged hereunder registered, or held
through a securities intermediary, in the name of Pledgor or Pledgor's nominee
and Secured Party shall promptly give to Pledgor copies of any notices and
communications received by Secured Party with respect to Common Stock pledged
hereunder registered, or held through a securities intermediary, in the name of
Custodian, Secured Party or its nominee.
(h) Pledgor agrees that Pledgor shall forthwith upon demand pay to
Secured Party:
(i) the amount of any taxes that Secured Party or the
Custodian may have been required to pay by reason of the Security
Interests or to free any of the Collateral from any Lien thereon, and
(ii) the amount of any and all reasonable costs and expenses,
including the fees and disbursements of counsel and of any other
experts, that Secured Party or the Custodian may incur in connection
with (A) the enforcement of this Agreement, including such expenses as
are incurred to preserve the value of the Collateral and the validity,
perfection, rank and value of the Security Interests, (B) the
collection, sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral, (C) the
exercise by Secured Party of any of the rights conferred upon it
hereunder or (D) any Acceleration Event.
Any such amount not paid on demand shall bear interest (computed on the basis of
a year of 360 days and payable for the actual number of days elapsed) at a rate
per annum equal to 5% plus the prime rate as published from time to time in The
Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition.
10
(i) Without limiting the rights and obligations of the parties under
this Agreement, upon the consent of Pledgor (which consent need not be in
writing), Secured Party may, notwithstanding Section 9-207 of the UCC, sell,
lend, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise dispose
of, or otherwise use in its business (collectively, "REHYPOTHECATE"), any
Collateral, free from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever of Pledgor,
including any equity or right of redemption by Pledgor; provided that Secured
Party will replace any rehypothecated Collateral (with the same Collateral or
identical substitute Collateral) (A) upon five Business Days' notice from
Pledgor or (B) if not already replaced, on the Maturity Date or any Optional
Termination Date; provided further that in the case of any Optional Termination
Date on which the Securities Contract is terminated in part pursuant to Section
3.01 of the Securities Contract, Secured Party will be obligated to replace only
an amount of rehypothecated Collateral sufficient to ensure that on such date,
the Collateral Account will contain a number of shares of Common Stock at least
equal to the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the
Securities Contract is to be terminated pursuant to Section 3.01 of the
Securities Contract. If at any time at which any shares of Common Stock
constituting Collateral have been rehypothecated pursuant to this Section 5(i)
there shall occur an event of a type that would, had Secured Party borrowed such
shares of Common Stock from Pledgor on terms customary for loans of equity
securities (as determined by the Calculation Agent), require either (i) an
adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock or a change in the type of
securities or other property that Secured Party would be required to deliver to
Pledgor to repay such stock loan or (ii) a payment or delivery by Secured Party
to Pledgor in respect of dividends paid or distributions made on such shares of
Common Stock, then, in the case of clause (i), such adjustment or change shall
be applied to the number of shares of Common Stock that Secured Party is
required to replace in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence and, in the case of clause (ii), Secured Party shall make such payment
or delivery to Pledgor, whereupon the amount so paid or the assets so delivered
shall become Collateral hereunder. All determinations related to the immediately
preceding sentence shall be made by the Calculation Agent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any of the Eligible Collateral pledged hereunder is unavailable
for rehypothecation by Secured Party at any time ((1) as a result of Pledgor's
withholding Pledgor's consent to rehypothecation of such Collateral, (2) as a
result of Pledgor's causing Secured Party to replace such Collateral pursuant to
the proviso to the first sentence in this Section 5(i), (3) as a result of any
Transfer Restrictions or (4) otherwise) (a "REHYPOTHECATION UNAVAILABILITY"),
the Calculation Agent shall adjust one or more of the Base Amount, the Exchange
Rate, the Threshold Price, the Issue Price, the Maturity Price, the Cash
Settlement Amount, any Closing Price and any other variable relevant to the
exercise, settlement or payment terms hereof or of the Securities Contract, as
appropriate to make Secured Party whole for Secured Party's cost relating to the
borrowing of shares of Common Stock in connection with hedging Secured Party's
exposure to the
11
Securities Contract (whether such borrowing is effected by Secured Party or by a
counterparty to a transaction entered into by Secured Party to hedge Secured
Party's exposure to the Securities Contract), as determined by the Calculation
Agent. For purposes of determining the occurrence of a Collateral Event of
Default, the rehypothecation of any Collateral pledged hereunder shall not
affect the status of such Collateral as Collateral or Eligible Collateral
hereunder.
SECTION 6. Income and Voting Rights in Collateral. (a) Secured Party
shall have the right to receive and retain as Collateral hereunder all proceeds
(including, without limitation, ordinary cash dividends or interest) of the
Collateral, and Pledgor shall take all such action as Secured Party shall deem
reasonably necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right. All such
proceeds that are received by Pledgor shall be received in trust for the benefit
of Secured Party and, if Secured Party so directs, shall be segregated from
other funds of Pledgor and shall, forthwith upon demand by Secured Party, be
delivered over to the Custodian on behalf of Secured Party as Collateral in the
same form as received (with any necessary endorsement).
(b) Unless an Acceleration Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give
consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral (other than
Collateral that has been rehypothecated by Secured Party pursuant to Section
5(i)), and Secured Party shall, upon receiving a written request from Pledgor
accompanied by a certificate of the General Partner of Pledgor stating that no
Acceleration Event has occurred and is continuing, deliver to Pledgor or as
specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents,
ratifications and waivers in respect of any of the Collateral that is
registered, or held through a securities intermediary, in the name of the
Custodian, Secured Party or its nominee as shall be specified in such request
and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party.
(c) If an Acceleration Event shall have occurred and be continuing,
Secured Party shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, and Pledgor
shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to
such right, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and to take
any other action with respect to any or all of the Collateral with the same
force and effect as if Secured Party were the absolute and sole owner thereof.
SECTION 7. Remedies upon Acceleration Events. (a) If any Acceleration
Event shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may exercise all the
rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not in
effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) and, in addition,
without being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as may
be required by mandatory provisions of law, shall: (i) deliver or cause to be
delivered to itself from
12
the Collateral Account all Collateral consisting of shares of Common Stock (but
not in excess of the number thereof deliverable under the Securities Contract at
such time) on the date of the Acceleration Amount Notice relating to such
Acceleration Event (the "DEFAULT SETTLEMENT DATE") in satisfaction of Pledgor's
obligations to deliver Common Stock under the Securities Contract, whereupon
Secured Party shall hold such shares of Common Stock absolutely free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption
of Pledgor that may be waived or any other right or claim of Pledgor, and
Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights
of redemption, stay or appraisal that Pledgor has or may have under any law now
existing or hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be insufficient
to satisfy in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Securities
Contract or hereunder, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser
portion thereof as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy
in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Securities Contract or
hereunder, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such
price or prices as Secured Party may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and
agrees that Pledgor will execute and deliver such documents and take such other
action as Secured Party deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sale
may be made in compliance with law. Upon any such sale, Secured Party shall have
the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the buyer thereof the Collateral so
sold. Each buyer at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely
and free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or
right of redemption of Pledgor that may be waived or any other right or claim of
Pledgor, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives
all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal that Pledgor has or may have under
any law now existing or hereafter adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale
required by the UCC shall (1) in case of a public sale, state the time and place
fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker's board or on a securities
exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the
day on which the Collateral, or the portion thereof so being sold, will first be
offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case of a private
sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Any such public
sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at
such place or places as Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sale. At any
such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as Secured Party may determine. Secured Party shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. Secured Party may, without
notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to
be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for
the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may
be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured
Party until the selling price is paid by the buyer thereof, but Secured Party
shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such
13
buyer to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such
failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. Secured Party,
instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by
a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell
the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party Pledgor's true
and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of Pledgor,
Secured Party or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of Secured Party, but
at the expense of Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, to exercise, at any
time and from time to time while an Acceleration Event has occurred and is
continuing, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the
Collateral:
(i) to demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect, receive and give acquittance
for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof,
(ii) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any
action or proceeding with respect thereto,
(iii) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with
the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as
if Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof (including, without
limitation, the giving of instructions and entitlement orders in
respect thereof), and
(iv) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and
to make any allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto;
provided that Secured Party shall give Pledgor not less than one day's prior
written notice of the time and place of any sale or other intended disposition
of any of the Collateral, except any Collateral that threatens to decline
speedily in value, including, without limitation, equity securities, or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market. Secured Party and Pledgor agree
that such notice constitutes "reasonable authenticated notification" within the
meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.
(c) Upon any delivery or sale of all or any part of any Collateral
made either under the power of delivery or sale given under this Section 7 or
under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings for foreclosure or
otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, Secured Party is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Pledgor, in the name and
stead of Pledgor, to make all necessary deeds, bills of sale, instruments of
assignment, transfer or conveyance of the property, and all instructions and
entitlement orders in respect of the property
14
thus delivered or sold. For that purpose Secured Party may execute all such
documents, instruments, instructions and entitlement orders. This power of
attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and Pledgor hereby ratifies
and confirms that which Pledgor's attorney acting under such power, or such
attorney's successors or agents, shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement.
If so requested by Secured Party or by any buyer of the Collateral or a portion
thereof, Pledgor shall further ratify and confirm any such delivery or sale by
executing and delivering to Secured Party or to such buyer or buyers at the
expense of Pledgor all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment,
conveyance or transfer, releases, instructions and entitlement orders as may be
designated in any such request.
(d) In the case of an Acceleration Event, Secured Party may proceed to
realize upon the security interest in the Collateral against any one or more of
the types of Collateral, at any time, as Secured Party shall determine in its
sole discretion subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7. The
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, or other receipt from, any
of the Collateral shall be applied by Secured Party in the following order of
priorities:
first, to the payment to Secured Party or the Custodian of the
expenses of such sale or other realization, including reasonable
compensation to the Custodian and the agents and counsel of the
Custodian and Secured Party, and all expenses, liabilities and advances
incurred or made by Secured Party or the Custodian in connection
therewith, including brokerage fees in connection with the sale by
Secured Party of any Collateral;
second, to the payment to Secured Party of an amount equal to
the aggregate Market Value of a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that would be required to
be delivered under Section 8.01 of the Securities Contract on the
Default Settlement Date without giving effect to the proviso therein
minus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock delivered to Secured
Party on the Default Settlement Date as described in Section 7(a);
finally, if all of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and
under the Securities Contract have been fully discharged or sufficient
funds have been set aside by Secured Party at the request of Pledgor
for the discharge thereof, any remaining proceeds shall be released to
Pledgor.
SECTION 8. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement is not intended and shall
not be construed to create any rights in any person other than Pledgor, Secured
Party and their respective successors and assigns and no other person shall
assert any rights as third party beneficiary hereunder. Whenever any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
successors and assigns of such party.
15
All the covenants and agreements herein contained by or on behalf of Pledgor and
Secured Party shall bind, and inure to the benefit of, their respective
successors and assigns whether so expressed or not. The rights and duties under
this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by any party hereto without
the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided that (i) Secured
Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or duties hereunder without the
prior written consent of Pledgor and (ii) the Agent may assign or transfer any
of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
parties hereto to any affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston, so long as such
affiliate is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and
only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an
amendment, by Pledgor and Secured Party or, in the case of a waiver, by the
party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by either
party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
(c) All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any
standard forms of telecommunication. Notices to Pledgor shall be directed to
Pledgor at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,
Telecopy No. (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, with a copy to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Freitas, Orrick,

Telecopy No. (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇; notices to Secured Party shall be directed to it in
care of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Eleven ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Telecopy No. (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
(d) This Agreement shall in all respects be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to
choice of law doctrine (provided that as to Pledged Items located in any
jurisdiction other than the State of New York, Secured Party shall, in addition
to any rights under the laws of the State of New York, have all of the rights to
which a secured party is entitled under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and
each party hereto submits to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New
York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in
New York City. The parties hereto hereby agree that the Custodian's
jurisdiction, within the meaning of Section 8- 110(e) of the UCC, insofar as it
acts as a securities intermediary hereunder or in respect hereof, is the State
of New York. To the extent permitted by law, the unenforceability or invalidity
of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall
16
not render any other provision or provisions herein contained unenforceable or
invalid.
(e) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND
ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(f) This Agreement may be executed, acknowledged and delivered in any
number of counterparts and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed
to constitute one and the same agreement.
(g) The rights and obligations of the Agent shall be as set forth in
Section 9.08 of the Securities Contract.
SECTION 9. Termination of Pledge Agreement. This Agreement and the
rights hereby granted by Pledgor in the Collateral shall cease, terminate and be
void upon fulfillment of all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Securities
Contract and hereunder. Any Collateral remaining at the time of such termination
shall be fully released and discharged from the Security Interests and delivered
to Pledgor by Secured Party, all at the request and expense of Pledgor.
SECTION 10. Netting and Set-off. (a) If on any date, cash would
otherwise be payable or shares of Common Stock or other property would otherwise
be deliverable (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the replacement, as
required by Section 5(i), of shares of Common Stock that have been
rehypothecated pursuant to such Section) pursuant to the Securities Contract or
this Agreement by Secured Party to Pledgor and by Pledgor to Secured Party and
the type of property required to be paid or delivered by each such party on such
date is the same, then, on such date, each such party's obligation to make such
payment or delivery will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the
aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable or deliverable by one
such party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable
or deliverable by the other such party, replaced by an obligation upon the party
by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable or deliverable to
pay or deliver to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over
the smaller aggregate amount.
(b) In addition to and without limiting any rights of set-off that
Secured Party may have as a matter of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise,
upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Termination Date to which clause (B) of
Section 7.02 of the Securities Contract applies or an Acceleration Date, Secured
Party shall have the right to terminate, liquidate and otherwise close out the
transactions contemplated by the Securities Contract and this Agreement pursuant
to the terms of the Securities Contract and this Agreement, and to set off any
obligation it may have
17
to Pledgor pursuant to the Securities Contract or this Agreement, including
without limitation any obligation to (i) release from the Security Interests or
return to Pledgor any Collateral pursuant to Section 5(e) or Section 9 or (ii)
replace any rehypothecated Collateral pursuant to Section 5(i), against any
right Secured Party or any of its affiliates may have against Pledgor pursuant
to the Securities Contract or this Agreement, including without limitation any
right to receive a payment or delivery pursuant to Section 2.03(b), Section
2.04, Section 3.01, Section 7.02, Section 7.04 or Section 8.01 of the Securities
Contract or any other provision of the Securities Contract. In the case of a
set-off of any obligation to return or replace assets against any right to
receive assets of the same type, such obligation and right shall be set off in
kind. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to return or replace assets
against any right to receive assets of any other type, the value of each of such
obligation and such right shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and the
result of such set-off shall be that the net obligor shall pay or deliver to the
other party an amount of cash or assets, at the net obligor's option, with a
value (determined, in the case of a delivery of assets, by the Calculation
Agent) equal to that of the net obligation. In determining the value of any
obligation to release or deliver Common Stock or right to receive Common Stock,
the value at any time of such obligation or right shall be determined by
reference to the Market Value of the Common Stock at such time. If an obligation
or right is unascertained at the time of any such set-off, the Calculation Agent
may in good faith estimate the amount or value of such obligation or right, in
which case set-off will be effected in respect of that estimate, and the
relevant party shall account to the other party at the time such obligation or
right is ascertained.
